That sort of depends on how big they are! The more you can nail the timing and movement the easier it gets. I'm on the bigger end ~230 lbs 5'11" and I've used in on 300 lbs-ers, but at that extreme it was heavy on the finesse and less on the muscle.
If you’re doing the Cobra Clutch from behind and you’re right handed, grab his left tricep with your right palm so that your right forearm goes directly on his right carotid artery and if you’re left handed, do the same thing in reverse.

It is like a twister spine lock. I feel it in my chest muscles first then my shoulder, mostly because of my lack of flexibility, then in my middle back. Try it!!
I think that’s the slickest move you’ve done so far. I want to try it, but I feel like I’m going to forget the detail of moving that knee to the inside. Also, it may be six months before I get someone to turtle.
Haha. Sometimes getting them to turtle is the challenge. Seems like some people go there all the time, others never do. Hopefully you can find someone to try it out on!
I will definitely be hitting this... I was once taught something similar when you're playing closed guard or half guard, where it allows you to pin his posture down and expose his back. I was taught to use the opposite hand to break the grip, but the same side hand creates more gaps and openings, so this makes even more sense to me.
Yeah! I do this as well! Old Greco wrestler here, with short arms and an increasing gut, the hammerlock is much more comfortable a grip than the figure-4 or DWL. Once I just stopped worrying and learned to love the hammerlock grip, it's been much happier days (for me). As a bonus, one day I'm going to get it on a cop in a no-gi competition, and that should be worth extra points.
That's awesome!! I really like this grip and have been using it a ton lately. If you get it on a cop make a sure to tell them to stop resisting. My cop buddies love it when I do that, haha.
That’s nice. I knew what you were about to do before you did it-it makes sense…but a year ago it would’ve been a huge revelation. And even now, I never thought of it until I was thinking through as you were setting it up. I’m just getting to the point where some-by far not all-of the dots are starting to connect. I really love your simple way of showing things that work. Thanks.
Yes. He can also try to take your back. You need to be quick on your transition. For me, I would rather counter attack to prevent the arm triangle (and maybe get a submission) and end up with my back taken, than be subbed by the arm triangle.
Nice. This is how I was taught the headsit, but you have a couple of extra details I didn’t know. Face side knee to the nose…rotating on the scissors to deepen the choke. I love this channel.
The strength and effectiveness of these techniques can't be overstated, but the poetic delivery can't be ignored either. "If you can't finish the Kimura, just pull his head off with your knees." Where has this been my whole life?
@DirtballBJJ their body is facing your legs instead of being focused more towards the head. Having a hard time finding a video or Pic to show, and I'm using the term used at the gym I go to. I have a feeling you already know what it is though
Yep. I understand now. Thanks. Of course there are always counters to counters to counters, which is the beauty of grappling. I'll feel like I have had people try that with me before. I'll go back and lab it some and see what options there are. Thanks!!
